measures。 。 。 until the perturbators of the Assembly; known under the

(tendantes) to make known to the people that the country will be saved
by awaiting (en atendans) with courage the decree which is to be
rendered to prevent traitors (les traitre) from longer sitting in the
senate house。〃 Ibid。; June 4。 The committee decides that it will
add new members to its number; but they will be taken only from all
〃good sans…culote; no notary; no notary's clerk; no lawyers nor their
clerks; no banker nor rich landlord〃 being admissible; unless he gives
evidence of unmistakable civism since 1789。 Cf。 F7; 2497 (section of
the Droits de l'Homme); F7; 2484 (section of the Halle…au…blé); the
resemblance in orthography and in their acts; the registry of the
Piques section (F7; 2475) is one of the most interesting; here may be
found the details of the appearance of the ministers before it; the
committee that examines them does not even spell their names
correctly; 〃Clavier〃 being often written for Clavière; and 〃Goyer〃 for
Gohier。

spoke uncivilly to him and took him for an imaginary municipalist;
that he was threatened with the lock…up; and that his liberty was
solely due to the brave citizens of the Sans…culottes section and the
gunners of the Beaurepaire section who went with him。〃

'169' Or workhouses; see Taine: 〃Notes on England〃 page 214: 〃It is an
English principle that the indigent; by giving up their freedom; have
a right to be supported。 Society pays the cost; but shuts them up and
sets them to work。 As this condition is repugnant to them; they avoid
the workhouse as much as possible。〃 Similar institutions existed in
France before the revolution。 (SR)。
'170' Sieyès (quoted by Barante; 〃Histoire de la Convention;〃 III。
169) thus describes it: 〃The fake people; the deadliest enemy which
the French people ever had; blocked incessantly the approaches to the
Convention 。 。 。 At the entrance or exit of the Convention the
astonished spectator thought that a new invasion of barbarian hordes
had suddenly occurred; a new irruption of voracious; sanguinary
harpies; flocking there to seize hold of the revolution as if it were
the natural prey of their species。〃
'171' Gouverneur Morris; II。 241。 Letter of Oct。 23; 1792。 〃The
populace … something; thank God; that is unknown in America〃〃 He
often insists on this essential characteristic of the French
Revolution。 … On this ever…present class; see the accurate and
complete work well supported by facts; of Dr。 Lombrose; 〃L'Uomo

Desmoulins; No。 5。
'177' Mallet du Pan; II。 52。 (March 8; 1794)。 … The titular general of
the revolutionary army was Ronsin。 〃Previous to the Revolution he was
a seedy author earning his living and reputation by working for the
boulevard stalls。 。 。 One day a person informed him that his staff
'was behaving very badly; acting tyrannically in the most outrageous
manner at the theaters and everywhere else; striking wo
